What video game would you like to see become a movie.

For me I think Madworld for the Wii would be a fun action movie to see, though don't know how the public react to seeing the Black Baron and Blacker Baron.

Not the game narrative specifically but cyber punk world, similar feel to judge dredd or altered carbon

And as an extra note, I’d love the caiaphas cain novels to be a series,

Thrones

If someone can make an honest adaptation from the book BioShock: Rapture I think will be pretty sick. I don't understand why it's Soo hard to follow a book when the script is literally written right there for you. Or at least it'll be an entertaining TV series actually.

Seconding Beehive Bedlam.

Also they should make a sequel to the Mario movie, even if they have to revive Bob hoskins, which is something we can ALL benefit from.

At this point, probably none. Video game movies are often trash. The mario movie was okay though

Well if the movie didn't have to speak to non-fans then we'll have good movies. Whoever thought of making the borderlands movie is an idiot. I never watched it and knew it was gonna be s**t as soon as I saw Kevin Heart and Jack black I knew it was gonna be s**t.

Games should stay games. If anything game movies aren't game adaptions, they're closer to "based on characters and stories"

Either the director wants to put their own stamp on it, or the writer has a problem condensing a multi-houred game with all iconic events, character portrayal and lore, into a 2 hour movie.

There is also the question of who is it for? If you've played the game why would you want to see it told again in a less perfect way? If you haven't played the game you're probably going to see something that doesn't do the source justice and will give you different information with less impressive results.
